I didn't find a single abandoned/obviously distressed property but more importantly I realized that is not how i want to spend my time.I want to spend my time doing ABC:ALWAYS BE CLOSINGSo I need leads coming to me.Current ideas/strategies:-Posting craigslist ads, offering $ for the location of these houses(some upfront, or perhaps say $500 if I close the house) -awesome bc it's free-Posting in newspapers-Remnant time on the radio-Also bandit signs saying "buying houses for cash"and to take it further, billboards (I recall seeing one that said "I buy ugly homes" years ago, now it's very clear to me lol, that would require capital though.Share your best ideas especially ones you've had a lot of success in:

There could be more foreclosures up ahead, especially in nicer neighborhoods where a lot of these prime borrowers resided.

Use Bandit signs in the front yard & around the neighborhood in high traffic areas.

Other units in neighborhood are selling for $110K - $120K.

Craftman style, decent neighborhood, needed significant work and great houses around it.Upon further inspection, it was partially worked on inside, some new sheetrock and paint, but it didnt look like anyone had been there in a bit.Knocked on the neighbor's door and after some chatting, got the owner's number.Long story short: meeting the owner this week for a formal tour, talk numbers, take my mentor and then maybe my first wholesale deal!

Not every "low income" thread needs to be turned into a low income vs quality neighborhood consideration.

There are some great pocket neighborhoods that I've seen out in the country that retirees built as a co-op, but haven't seen a successful tiny house + pocket neighborhood concept executed personally.

I will be showing the houses Saturday Sept 24th, please call for time.South West Baltimore County, lovely neighborhood.

.#2 - 3/2, Similar style house, same neighborhood, 1 block away.
